And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Now that's a slick little cabin out in the pinyon pines.
Nice. Till the inevitable fire destroys it due to lack of defensible space. I have lived surrounded by opinions and pinenut trees for decades. Fire is not an if. It's a when. No defensible space means no home.
My Microsoft cheater says this humble abode is in Yucca Valley, California. Why does this picture make me want to have a cold beer and doze off in that comfy chair on the porch?
I like this but would prefer the prickly stuff to be a little farther from the porch. (my brother was once pushed into a cactus garden)

After finding a scorpion in my house and spending the last three days resealing everything, I’ll pass on this for now.
ReplyDeleteAnon. - You haven't really lived until you've dodged falling scorpions you shot off the ceiling with a rubber band.
